My name is Polina Sizova. I’m a visual artist and illustrator, currently living and working in Barcelona, Spain.

I do art  between fine art and illustration, with a strong focus on comics and graphic storytelling. Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a commercial illustrator with music labels and publishing houses, as an illustration educator for a wide range of audiences, and as an independent artist and writer.

04. Ties. 02.
A complicated structure
Illustrations2025



This continues an exploration of the emotional experience of immigration — specifically the sudden realization that you are made of your home, and even if you take it out of yourself, there is still a space left behind shaped exactly like it.
If you part from it, the tie can never be fully severed; if you try to find
your way back to it, that path cannot be found.

This series holds scattered experiences from the search
for a new sense of home after its complete loss.

Here there is the constant presence of memories that knock you off your feet;
the desire to reconnect with
the past through elements
of the present; the pure feeling of loss; the refusal to move forward — and yet also the hope that once it becomes possible to grow even something small, to build at least an awkward little hut on the site of a once-whole past, new guests will begin to arrive.

Strange ones, unlike anyone before, but already interesting again.

And life will be able to go on.
